Synopsis

In the late 1960's Harlan Ellison launched a weekly column for the Los Angeles Free Press where he uncompromisingly discussed the effects of television on modern society. He assaulted everything from television sitcoms to corrupt politicians, talk-shows to military massacres. Today, more than four decades later, almost all of his criticism still holds true. E-Reads and Ellison's company, Edgeworks Abbey, are proud to make this second collection of 50 outspoken columns widely available for the first time in some 40 years. Don't miss the first volume: THE GLASS TEAT.

Harlan Ellison has been called ìone of the great living American short story writersî by the Washington Post. In a career spanning more than 50 years, he has won more awards for the 74 books he has written or edited, more than 1700 stories, essays, articles, and newspaper columns, the two dozen teleplays and a dozen motion pictures he has created, then any other living fantasist. He has won the Hugo award eight and a half times (shared once); the Nebula award three times; the Bram Stoker award, presented by the Horror Writers Association, five times (including The Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996); the Edgar Allan Poe award of the Mystery Writers of America twice; the Georges Melies fantasy film award twice; two Audie Awards (for the best in audio recordings); and was awarded the Silver Pen for Journalism by P.E.N., the international writerís union. He was presented with the first Living Legend award by the International Horror Critics at the 1995 World Horror Convention. He is also the only author in Hollywood ever to win the Writers Guild of America award for Outstanding teleplay (solo work) four times, most recently for ìPaladin of the Lost Hourî his Twilight Zone episode that was Danny Kayeís final role, in 1987. In 2006, Ellison was awarded the prestigious title of Grand Master by the SFWA. "Dreams With Sharp Teeth," the special documentary chronicling his life and works, was released on DVD in May 2009.
